Bently Nevada 330104-00-06-05-01-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Description

330104-00-06-05-01-05 specifies a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe configuration with an M10 x 1 metric thread and flexible stainless steel armor. This orderable part is configured with a 0 mm unthreaded length (fully threaded case) and a 60 mm overall case length. Designed with a 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) total length, it features a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with a connector protector (Option 01) and holds CSA, ATEX, and IECEx agency approvals (Option 05) for hazardous locations.

Compared to unarmored variants or configurations without connector protection, this armored probe provides physical protection against mechanical abrasion, cutting, and crushing in harsh industrial environments. It operates as part of the 3300 XL 8 mm transducer system, generating an output voltage directly proportional to the distance between the 8 mm probe tip and the observed target surface, typically an AISI 4140 steel shaft. The integrated ClickLoc connector with protector ensures a stable connection with low electrical noise and resistance to environmental moisture and oil.

Features

• M10 x 1 metric thread case with flexible AISI 302 or 304 stainless steel armor to protect the probe cable from physical damage.
• Fully threaded design specified by Option 00 (0 mm unthreaded length) combined with a 60 mm overall case length (Option 06).
• 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) total probe length (Option 05) ideal for close-coupled installations or tight enclosures.
• ClickLoc coaxial connector with an integrated connector protector (Option 01) ensuring a reliable, moisture-resistant electrical connection.
• Option 05 approval package including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications for intrinsically safe and non-incendive installations in hazardous areas.
• Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip material providing chemical resistance and thermal stability from -52 degC to +177 degC.

Applications

This proximity probe is used in machinery protection and condition monitoring systems across heavy industries such as power generation, oil and gas, and chemical processing. Specific applications include:

• Radial vibration measurements on high-speed fluid-film bearing machines.
• Axial position and thrust monitoring on steam turbines, compressors, and pumps.
• Keyphasor reference and rotational speed measurements.
• Over-speed detection and machine diagnostic systems.

Installation Guidelines

• Thread Rotation: Rotate the probe body, not the cable, when threading the probe into its mounting location to prevent twisting and internal cable damage.
• Bend Radius Limits: Ensure that the probe cable does not exceed the minimum permissible bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in).
• Connection Hand-Tightening: Only finger-tighten the ClickLoc coaxial connectors to prevent mechanical over-stressing. Do not use tools on the gold "click" connectors.
• Connector Protector Fitment: Apply the integrated connector protector over the mated probe-to-cable joint to keep out oil, moisture, and debris.

Compliance and Certifications

• Agency Approvals: Option 05 certified for CSA, ATEX, and IECEx.
• Hazardous Areas: Intrinsically safe and non-incendive ratings for Class I, Division 1 / Division 2 and Zone 0 / Zone 2 installations when properly connected with certified barriers.
• CE Mark: Fully compliant with European Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Hazardous Area standards.
